Red Figure Apulian Pelike
Period: 325-300 b.C.
A pelike is a two-handled container, with a large rounded body, used as a wedding gift. This sizeable piece is decorated with a complex wedding-themed scene.
Organized on superimposed bands, the scene depicts a couple seated on a richly decorated bed surrounded by embroidered pillows. The wedding event is enhanced by the presence of Erotes (winged personifications of love), flying above the couple and offering the crown and ribbons.
Around the bride and groom are a number of characters, mostly couples attending the wedding ceremony carrying presents and offerings. Some are playing, or beating, musical instruments, clearly showing the importance of music at these ceremonies. In the upper portion, the goddess Aphrodite is standing on a chariot pulled by two erotes.
The vase is attributed to the so-called “Dario's painter”, an artist who probably worked in Taranto between 340 and 320 B.C.
